I have tried to print using the virtual printer patch included in Moe's cvs-build. However, each time I try to print something (for example: dir > lpt1, just for testing), only a short cracky sound reminds me that something is actually happening. NO ps file is being created, though. Which directory …

The "Secret" ist to compile the sources yourself. You do not have to be a programmer to do this. Thus you will have a brand new selfmade-build that exactly fits your distro.

I'm no expert, for example I do not no much about the macOS filesystem. In linux, however, this adds up to a little howto: 1. Download the newest dosbox sources 2. Make sure you have gcc installed 3. Unpack the dosbox sources into any directory, preferably into your home directory. 4. Change into …

try out a recent cvs-build or compile the newest sources xourself. dosbox win 3.1 support has improved a lot again since version 0.65 . It's really not difficult to compile the sources even if you're not a programmer (just like me, I also managed to do it using gcc)

I want to ask a question which might be related to this point: Wouldn't it be possible to include something like a "floppy image changing gui" which allows the user to choose between all his floppy images to be inserted into his virtual a: drive? In bochs you have this option (via a virtual console …

Yes, you're right. :happyhappy: :happyhappy: :happyhappy: But about the "not necessary to emulate" thing: It's not necessary, but it is something like a preservation of the past for the future. Also, I found out, that dosbox let's me do sbpro2 programming again !!!!!! Just like 10-15 years ago !!!! …

I do not want dosbox to become bloated with unnecessary features. But it is a dos emulator. ALL my old apps from the dos age actually function quite well. There is not one that does not. Some of these, however, do not run in win xp anymore. But in dosbox, they do. So what is the point to state …

Isn't Grand Prix 2 way to slow in dosbox anyway? It runs fine with vdmsound. Back in 1996 when gp2 was released, there was hardly a computer able to run it smoothly. My PII, bought in 1998 (!!), was way too slow ... . 🤣 Better to use vdmsound, I think.

Yes, you can use free pascal. But if you really want to use bp 7 in dosbox: I have not encountered any problems yet.

There's no need for the developers to worry. Dosbox already supports A LOT of apps. And actually, it's much easier to install and run these apps in dosbox than in, for example, bochs. They run faster, too. P.S.: I think system demanding games actually call a lot of interrupt functions, too. Maybe …

I completely agree with polar that dosbox should focus on becoming a general dos emulator. Dos compatibility is decreasing with every new version of windows. If this development goes on (and yes, it will), dos software will end up the same way amiga software (for example) already has a long time ago …

As I have noticed using the latest cvs-builds (thanks to the developers!!!), dosbox compatibility (and SPEED!!! )has improved quite a lot since 0.65 again. Is there any chance we will see the release of a new official version soon? 😎 😎 😎

Dosbox is aleady able to run a l o t of dos programs, not only games. But as it is primarily meant to run games this happens more or less coincidently. Requests for the command you're referring to will not be listened to until you actually name ONE (one would already be enough) game. My suggestions: …

Thank you for your suggestions, but think I will stay with suse, at least for a while. The installation process has cost me three days ... right now everything is working fine, so I don't want to mess up my os again.

Here's another linux related dosbox question: How can I change cpu cycles? ctrl+ f11, f12 don't work for me! Could it be that the problem is related to my LAPTOP keyboard? Another big problem is that I cannot use many keys (For example, I have not yet found out how to type a backslash or a ":") I …

Ok, thank you very much. I have found out that dosbox IS INCLUDED in my suse 10.1 distro afterall. I only had to install the package from my dvd because it is not part of the standard suse installation. It's version 0.63 (with xp I'm using a patched 0.65 cvs build). At least I'm able to play most …
